ASCENY Plate Mount Polymer Nylon Stabilizers with Gold-Plated Wires for Mechanical Keyboards (No Numpad Kit)

I am somewhat new to the mechanical keyboard modding scene and recently purchased a new keyboard. In my quest to improve the acoustics and feel of the keyboard, I decided to purchase these stabilizers. While I had used stabilizers from other companies, such as Durock, in the past on other keyboards, I was working on a more high-end build and so I was enthralled by the supposed higher quality of these stabilizers, especially since options are more limited on the plate-mounted side of things. These stabilizers definitely look and feel high quality, especially compared to the stock stabilizers that came on my board. While they aren't magical in any way, as I still needed to mod them to reduce rattling and ticking noises, they feel extremely good and I have been enjoying these stabilizers very much. I will say though that these stabilizers are slightly bigger than normal and they were an extremely tight fit on my keyboard. They went in fairly easily, had to use a bit of light force but nothing too crazy, like the same amount of force needed to install a switch. The problem for me though was taking them out. Most of them came out fine but two of the "housings" for lack of a better term did not want to come back out, and in the end, I ended up breaking one of the stabilizers which was upsetting. Thank goodness my set came with an extra stabilizer housing which came in clutch, but if it wasn't for that I would've been left hanging. The new housing did not have the same issue when used in the same spot as the housing that broke, so either the old stabilizer warped the hole enough to make the new one fit better, which I doubt considering my keyboard uses a steel plate, orrr each stabilizer housing has varying QC, which can be dangerous. Either way, I am still mostly happy with the purchase regardless of this size issue as I got everything to work nicely in the end, even if it was a bit painful. Now, here's the thing. If you're just planning to use these stabilizers stock as an upgrade from the ones included in your keyboard, then these are fine for the price. I do think these stabilizers are better than the Durock ones when both are compared out-of-the-box, but that's as far as it goes. When modded with lube and the holee mod, both these and the Durock stabs are basically the exact same. The problem here is, I reckon most people who are even considering buying new stabilizers at all are doing so with the intention of modding them, since buying stabilizers in the first place is such an enthusiast thing to do, which makes these a hard sell at the $20 price tag in my honest opinion. And even then, as mentioned before, they still had ticking issues out of the box anyway, so the recommendation is to mod them anyway. Ultimately though I do think these are at least worth trying out if you really want the best of the best when it comes to plate mounted stabilizers.

It works and it is tighter than my stock plate mount and zug gear durock plate mount. I wasn't able to fit it in on one of my mount and scratched my board. Then I thought of using some lube on the side of the stabilizer then it fits quite easily. I hope this review helps whoever sees it.

So, I thought about buying Asceny's stabilisers since the Womier/GamaKay's K87 Stabilisers were horrible, even when lubed. I felt anxious about getting them but in the end it was worth it. They don't tick compared to the stock combining it with the Holee mod and lube them with Krytox 205g0, and well... The space bar made me ascend farther to the heavens meaning it sounds so nice compared to before! Though I will have to dock a star because it was a bit tight for the spacebar that I had to put enough force to fit the stabilisers in and the fact that it's only $20 to get stabilisers that sound so nice. At the time of writing this, I have yet to change out the Left Shift, Enter, and Backspace since I didn't have time to mod them yet. But it will 100% sound great once I get those replaced!

These are by far the best plate stabs I’ve ever tried. Absolutely no wobble whatsoever. I used these in my Wooting HE60 and love them! Also, please disregard the review stating these dont work / could break when using cherry profile keycaps. These fit with no issues, full honesty I think that person is just an idiot and pushed down too hard when it wasn’t alined properly. These are definitely worth the money!

Every single stem has broken and the 'nylon' they used is so brittle I now have these stuck inside of an expensive GMK keycap set. Stick with Durock, or whatever came with your keyboard. These are a nightmare

I recently got these for my AKKO ACR98 since It was a gift to me. I figured hey. I saw some videos on these stabs and they seemed pretty new. Got me a pair which was a bit expensive for a few plate mount stabs "for 20$ i could build two plate mounted keyboards" Right out of the really nice and simple box are your... Pre-clipped stems. Housings and wires. Stock with no lube they sound absolutely ticky. Strangely enough it isnt as bad as cheaper platemount stabilizers on cheap boards. Lubercating these can be a bit tricky since the way the stems are designed and the plastics they used, they feel sort of soft or can give off a soft feel. I am however using a keyboard with an acrylic plate so thats added to the equation. But with a plumbers tape/teflon tape mod to the wires and a CONSIDERATE amount of 205g0 "havent tried XHT lube" The housings can almost entirely mute the sound of your keycap and switch and even give it an off feeling. I've used other platemount stabs and these genuinely need to be worked on a bit more. The tightness of the housing is nice but i still needed to bandaid mod the stabilizers to not move. Though to most people its entirely unnoticible. It sucks how they are impossible to fit in a keyboard such as a RK100. Which has a much narrower plate which restricts these stabilizers to fit. tl;dr. I feel these are a great option if you don't care about budgeting plate mounts. There's probably better options out there but these are decent even unlubbed. You just have to plumbers mod the wires or possibly use xht to a considerate amount to prevent that mushyness. ALSO ADD A NUMPAD KIT. 20$ IS TOO MUCH PLEASE.

Replaced the stabs on the Corsair K70 mini wireless with these and the worked perfect! Very smooth, nice quality!

I installed these on my GK61 with Gateron Optical Silver switches. They are way better than the stock stabs, and fit really tight with no rattle. I lubed them with Glorious G-lube for the housings/stems and dielectric grease for the wires, and also did the Holee mod with some cloth medical tape. I highly recommend these stabilizers for any keyboard build.
